Most of the "90's era" application stacks (vb, access, delphi, etc)
will work just fine with postgres over ODBC although an already
written application would need some changes if it's built against the
internall jet database. If you're writing a new application though,
it's should be clear that investing in a more modern environment is a
good idea. Forms these days are written in HTML.
